Story: Thinking of ditching IE? Think again

I use other browsers because of all the functionality that they offer me that IE doesn't. I love Firefox, for example, because of the various plugins I can use to tailor it's use - and to give me functionality I just can't get in IE, from minor things (like tabs) to big things like adblocking, smarter popup-blocking, RSS feeds, viewing HTTP headers, viewing tables and CSS formats - the list goes on.

Sure, ActiveX might be required on a corporate intranet, but if it's on the web at large, well, stuff 'em if they're going to lock out all non-IE consumers. It's their loss.
